 Welcome to this week's preview show coming from Vitality Stadium. Neil Perret is alongside me for the next 15 minutes or so to discuss all things AFC Bournemouth. Here's what's coming up. We'll be looking back at that 2-2 draw with Chelsea last weekend. We'll also be joined by Lewis Cook who talks us through his season. And finally we will look ahead to tomorrow's big game at Anfield. Well we're going to start back at that game last weekend a 2-2 draw with Chelsea. Neil a draw on the day was that the right result in the end? I think it was a fair result. I think either manager would have been disappointed if they hadn't got a point. It was a really hard fought really entertaining game. You know the stats showed that Chelsea had a lot more possession than we did and although they were trailing chasing the equaliser I think it was deserved and I think you know lots of Bournemouth fans would have settled for a point from that game before the game so you know it's a point in the right direction. And with those two quick fire goals in the second half Eddie how would have been delighted with the way his side you know came out out the starting blocks? Well as I just said talk about taking a point everybody would have definitely taken a point at half time. So to get back into the game in such spectacular fashion so quickly with I think it was like 180 seconds between the two goals was absolutely fantastic and then of course getting the lead now everybody wants us to hang on you know we're all in the same camp but it gets to five minutes from time. Chelsea you know who put a lot of pressure on in that in the in the second half of the second half and you know sometimes you've got to hold your hand up and say yeah they deserved it and they did deserve it. And you know talking about our performance especially the manner the second goal was scored you know we created chances we played you know flowing football and it looks like the Bournemouth that we're all used to doesn't it? Well the second goal in particular as you as you've highlighted the first goal was an absolutely fantastic set piece corner routine and one of the you know most powerful headers I think I've seen here for a long long time. Jefferson Lermer you know fantastic header got really everybody got really excited about that everybody's now thinking one one we'll take that and then blow me down you know three minutes later fantastic Lewis Cook great pass Phil Billing Jack Stacey and there was Josh King and everybody the heart in their mouth didn't they because of what happened at Burnley with Vaughan and what have you but it was all done very quickly this time and everybody knew the goal was going to stand. And for us obviously we're going to talk to Lewis Cook a little bit later on but back in the team what did you make of his performance on Saturday? Yeah I mean you know everybody knows what I've absolutely fantastic player Lewis Cook is you know he's got an England cap as well let's not forget that. What a fantastic player for Eddie Howe to have to bring into the team as and when the manager decides how he wants to play against an opposition and he obviously Lewis Cook played in the 1-0 win at Stanford Bridge as well I know that was on the wing in a slightly different position but showed all of his class with that brilliant turn for the goal and the pass so onwards and upwards for Lewis Cook from now on. Alongside him as well and in central midfield Jefferson Lerma you mentioned his goal with previously spoken about his impact no yellow card so he'll be available again this weekend obviously one more yellow and he suspended the twos. Yeah you know everybody's watching Jefferson Lerma hoping that he's not going to get a yellow card you know we saw it in the Aston Villa game he got that yellow card which would have earned him a two-match ban but then he got another yellow card got sent off and got an automatic one-match ban so a very curious rule but we're all looking at him on Saturday hoping he doesn't get a yellow card and blow me down he goes and gets a goal which you know I don't think he'd scored since the last day of last season what a fantastic goal it was but you know that's that's his game you know as I've said before he's taken one for the team on a few occasions he's probably saved some goals with some of those tackles that he's had to make so you know I don't think the manager will want to take anything away from his game. And every point in the Premier League is so crucial now more so than on Saturday with a lot of other results you know that happened on the same day. Listen it's going to happen I think it was the first time for a very long time that the bottom three had all won their respective games you know it was their turn this week could be our turn this week or the following week who knows it's going to happen there's going to be lots and lots of twists and turns and ups and downs there's 10 games to go the countdown is on here we go and we've got five at home and five away let's try and get as many points as we can just to stay above that line. Absolutely well it's been another busy week here at Vitality Stadium and the Cherries have been working hard in training let's take a look at what they've been up to. Well the hard work certainly continuing this week now then as you can see we have been joined by midfielder Lewis Cook. Lewis thank you for joining us we're going to start back at that game against Chelsea last weekend how was that from your perspective? Yeah it was a tough one I think we started both halves very well took the game to them I think we worked incredibly hard throughout the game and unfortunately we just couldn't get the three points but I think it's another step in the right direction lots of positives to take from that game and hopefully we can take it to the next one. And going into a big game this weekend how much confidence can a performance and you know a point against Chelsea D for you and the rest of the squad? Yeah I think I think it's massive take every point in the Premier League I think we've always said that and like I say the positives from the game I thought we really we went after him showed a lot of enthusiasm to press and especially first second half and did some good stuff on the ball created chances I think on another day we could have took them we could have got three points but I just keep saying we'll take the positives from them like we do every game and take that into this next game. Lewis is a very intense stage of the season now so everybody sees what you do on the pitch on a Saturday but what would you do after a game to sort of unwind maybe a Saturday evening in a Sunday? Yeah I think I think everyone's different I think I'm just kind of a normal person just say if I've played and played most of the game I'll just go get some food probably Chinese or something like that. This weekend we went and watched Jimmy Kai who's at the BIC so just went there for a bit it was good it's funny but I was a bit tired I think so I don't think I made the whole show can't get out the whole show but yeah and then I'll just the next day just go for a dog walk like most people do with dogs and then I just play a mix box chill out and recover as well. I was going to say how important is it for a top level athlete like yourself to recover as well as obviously what you see you do on the pitch but the other stuff is as important I would imagine. Yeah definitely I think straight after the game you've got to eat a lot of food and stuff and make sure you're playing show that kind of thing. I think most of the players now have got all these equipment that they have at home for recovery normal sex and game readies and things like that so spend a bit of time on the sofa with them on and spend a lot of time with them on to be fair and yeah get that recovery done now. Obviously last weekend it's it's been and gone now going into a new week what's the mood like been like in the camp this week? Yeah it's a new week I think enjoy training again make sure we get everything done make sure everyone's fully ready for the weekend physically and yeah I think it's just it's another week to get the game plan right and make sure we understand all our roles and responsibilities so we can go out there on sat day and take it to them really give everyone we can to try and get the points. And talking about roles and responsibilities you know this season we've seen in the central midfield position a lot of different players play that role what's it like for you you know there's competition for places every single week does that make you you know raise your game and training and and when you're out there? Yeah I think so I think everyone everyone wants to be on the starting starting lineup and we've got a lot of good players in in similar positions so I said before in every one of your interviews whoever's playing we're right behind each other and we just want to get the three points to be honest and like I say there's been a lot of rotation I think everyone's done well when they've came in so yeah it's a healthy competition and we just want the three points really that's the main thing. Lewis everybody's asking is now a good time to be playing Liverpool? Yeah I think so I think I think if we set us midway through the season we'd play them after after their last few games I think we're going to tuck it so look Liverpool are a top top team many games are going to be tough against them and if we if we want to beat them we're going to have to be on our best game so we knew that anyway so yeah we'll give it our all and see what can happen. We'd love to see a Bournemouth player scoring at Anfield you've actually done that haven't you? Yeah you won't think it but yeah I actually scored at Anfield when I was younger playing for Leeds so I think it was in the youth cup yeah it was great for me it was one of my first goals in a big stadium so yeah it was massive it was a bit unfortunate though once I scored the the camera from the game panned on to a different player so didn't get that limelight but nah unfortunately I'm getting the win. And you know going to Anfield these games you know they're huge games how much does it drive you and the players you know having a challenge like this ahead of you going to Anfield seeing if you can get something does that you know motivate you even more? I think so I think these are the games you want to be involved in I think when you're a young kid and you watch games at Anfield and things like that it's something you dream of so it's actually a motivation but I think we can try and go there and just think it's another game another chance to win three points and really get a little bit of momentum going towards the end of the season so yeah we'll give it our all it's a great place to play and we'll enjoy it. Oh Lewis thank you for joining us I'm sure we all wish you the best of luck on Saturday. Now then that game tomorrow Anfield is where our attention turns to next let's take a look at what Eddie Howe had to say in his pre-match press conference. Team news now we still have the lads that the long-termers that still haven't trained with us so you've got David Brooks are not Dan Juma, Chris Mepham who still haven't joined rejoin the group they are working hard in their respective rehabs and getting closer. Lloyd Kelly has trained this week so that was great news he's come through training so that's a big lift for everybody we need to be very very good this weekend it needs to be a difficult time to play us in every match we can only control what we do so I think the lads have trained really well this week I think we were lifted by a performance against Chelsea the last five games we've played in I think we've performed a lot better and the feel of the group is very good I have to say psychologically we're responding well to the challenge that's in front of us so I have to compliment Jürgen Klopp his team his players and on what they've achieved to this point because I think they've been incredible and the way that they play the intensity that they play at is very difficult to recreate that time after time after time and that's why we know this is probably the ultimate test this season this game for us is probably the hardest one we will face we have to be at our absolute best anything other than our absolute best in this game is not going to be good enough well that was Eddie Howell speaking in his press conference this morning Neil Liverpool they've been so consistent all season but all of a sudden they've had had three defeats in a row which is most unlike them what what do you put that down to? So where's it all gone wrong for Liverpool only 22 points clear at the top of the league I think they are now where's it all gone wrong well listen you know when you're on an unbeaten run it comes to an end you know it doesn't matter who you are you know you look at the Arsenal Invincibles it comes to an end they're a formidable team people need to look back to the last time they lost at home in the Premier League which was nearly three years ago it's the same month that we managed to get a 2-2 draw there so you know is it a good time to play Liverpool now well I mean it's it's the question that everybody's asking now and it's it's so obvious but you know there isn't really a good time to be playing Liverpool is there I mean they are like I said they're formidable they've been like a juggernaut this season and okay they've just had three results that nobody would have expected but you know they've had them so we've got to make sure that you know we can keep that run going we you mentioned their home from obviously all three of those defeats had come away from home but we go back to that West Ham game on on a Monday night a couple of weeks ago Liverpool go 1-0 up within I think it was eight minutes and then West Ham still somehow managed to go on and nearly win so there's there's signs there confidence for us that we can take from that West Ham performance going to Hanfield that we can score goals and you know we can perhaps come away with something well we know we we know we can score goals and we know we can score goals on the road we know we've you know as the manager said you know the past five performances have been a lot more encouraging he will have scrutinized that West Ham Liverpool game for hours on end he'll be looking for any little areas where he thinks that you know he can possibly see any form of weakness which there haven't been many for for Liverpool this season let's be let's be honest so um you know we can go there and we can go there with a little bit of confidence after the Chelsea performance we can go there with some confidence after their past three results but um you know let you know you talk about complacency and stuff like that you can't even mention things like that when you're going to Hanfield to play Liverpool you know you know you're going to be in for a hard game and obviously the last couple of weeks they've had no Jordan Henderson he's been out with I believe a hamstring injury he's likely to be out again this weekend does that change the dynamic at all for us um I don't think so I think you know I said that the manager will have looked at their performances you know if you can see anywhere to exploit but um you know Jordan Henderson might be out so they're bringing you know another world-class player that's what that's what you've got to remember with Liverpool they've got an embarrassment of riches they've had a lot of games maybe that could you know count against them Jurgen Klopp's obviously got a decision to make I'm sure that he will want to win the Premier League as soon as possible so I would imagine that he'll pick a really strong team against us um so you know there won't be um there won't be any half-measures from from Jurgen Klopp on Saturday so we're going to have to go there and give it everything to get anything from the game well you mentioned all these other players where do we start Sardio Mane you know Mo Salah even Alisson in goal their team is flooded with with talent isn't it well and you know we're all cashing in and the fantasy Premier League with all of those players all season they've been getting loads and loads of points for everybody and all of a sudden I think they call it a coupon buster with what happened at Watford it's certainly an FBL coupon buster with people getting single figures weren't they and stuff like that but um yeah like I said it's an embarrassment an embarrassment of riches you know they could go there like they've done in you know in the league cup I think it was you know they fielded a younger team if not a youth team narrowly bowled out of that competition against Aston Villa but having beaten Everton in the previous round so um there's going to be no easy games at Anfield for anybody and as for us you know for the first time in however long no fresh injury concerns and that will be a huge delight Freddie how won't it absolutely fantastic you know you're going to the champions elect let's make no secret of that you know they're going to win the title eventually um you want your strongest possible team to play them we're going there on the back of three defeats for them you know you people call these games like a free hit or you've got nothing to lose and stuff like that well you know you you could say that but we've got a we've got a good side and things you know things are coming together and then they need to start coming together it's that sorts of business end of the season now so um you know there's no reason why we can't go there and give it our best and maybe come away with something well here's hoping we can come away with something now then if you are going up to Anfield make sure you have a safe journey but if not keep an eye on BBC Radio Salon and AFC BTV for the latest updates with Chris Temple and John Williams bye for now
